I Am Hopeless

Hey there, dear friends!

My last post was in February. In short: I am hopeless. When it comes to seeing things through, that is. And I love blogging, I really do, it's just... Oh well, here have some explanations and updates, if there still is the slightest chance you haven't forgotten about me:

1. I moved in February. Woah, that was much work and we didn't have any wifi for about two months, so posting was hard to manage.

2. I promised to post every Friday. And as usual my brain decided to do the exact opposite.

3. I have too many accounts on the internet, and I can't keep up with all of them. Making a youtube video every two weeks, posting art and edits on tumblr and instagram, recording music for soundcloud and bandcamp. It just got a bit too much for me.

4. Uni. That old thing.

5. My mental state never has been the most steady thing in existence, so i get those little (or large) hic-ups and then I'm unable to do anyhting.

That said, I feel like I am in a good place currently. I have a lot to do, but I think I can manage it. And I'd love to return to the blogger community, if you're still willing to have me!

In my next post I'll talk about what you can expect from this blog now. It's not completely different than what I usually post, don't worry. My opinion just changed a bit. But that's for the next time :)

Love you muchly,

Jill

How To Be A Happy Blogger

Hello my lovelies,

I'm currently at a bit of a blogging crisis here, so if you'd be so kind to listen to me, you'd make my day!

 

I've been doing this blogging thing for some months now, but I don't consider myself a blogger or anything of the sort, sadly. It all started with tumblr for me, where I gained an incredible amount of followers within 2 years and gave me the courage to be myself, at least much more so than in the past. It also opened my way to youtube and lastly to this little blog here.

In the past couple of months I haven't really been active on all of those sites and that is definitely my own fault. So here are some points, with which I hope to better myself at what I do and create better and more enjoyable content. Who knows, maybe they'll be helpful to you, too?

1. Don't compare yourself too much to other bloggers. It's good to get some inspiration, but don't think you're worse, because you don't post the same content as them.
2. Create content you are proud of and would want to read yourself. Take photos you think are pretty, showcase your editing skills, show personality, write about whatever you want, but don't create bad content only because you want to post something.
3. Don't try to fit yourself into a specific genre. You're a multilayered human being and that's what your blog can be, too. Too many guidelines and rules lead to a creative block.
4. Get in touch with the blogging community. One of the most enjoyable things is to interact with other bloggers, so comment, comment, comment!
5. But remember, your blog is YOUR blog. Only you decide what to post and when to post, it's your personal space, so have courage to make the posts you really want to make!

 Do you agree with my points? What makes a happy blogging experience in your opinion?

I'd love to know!

See you soon and hopefully much less stressed about blogging,

xx
